15+ years of service average for UP employees being touted.... well when the clowns at the top fire everyone with less and we all are too invested in our rrb pensions then yes, that's the average. Has absolutely nothing to do with the UP as a company. They treat us and now the Feds like trash. Plus the recent ways like resisting medical records and fmla to fire more without furloughing because with the fra up the company's a** they cant....

Foolish to quit? Live 1 or 2 years after retirement. Die because of stress and wear on body. Glad I put all that money in rr pension.
CEO thought running UP was a cake walk. Cut people, cut costs....cut stock price too! Down big time since he took over 10 months ago. Failed at base camp, again.
I just finished 20 years and no manager presented me with a cool trinket! Wtf...I got a tie pin for 10 years!
Anyone vested into the RRB would be foolish to quit. We don't "Like" UP. We like the fact we can retire 7 years earlier than other jobs. Every year goes by it seems to get worse though.
Maybe 10% do quit, but how many of the remaining 90% are furloughed or had their jobs completely eliminated?
"It's based on a 6 year average and I've seen plenty of individuals quit over 25 years..."
Hey fckhead guess what happened and the company started doing 6 years ago..... I smell manager/corporate ckscker
When does operational excellence start? Right now its operational failure.

We’re just trapped by railroad retirement. It has nothing to do with the railroad being a great place to work.
It’s only measured on a 6 year average time . I’ve seen many people quit in the last 25 years.
Oh you may not know this but - they lie !
Like all the time
In fact there isn’t a bit of truth - coming out a executives mouth at anytime
The 90% retention is BS. I'd like to know what metrics they were looking at to come up with that percentage. 90% of the people that I knew when i started are gone! I think it's more appropriate to say the title should read like 90% employees hate the company. The other 10% percent are managers who are too afraid to grow a brain of their own and make a good decision that could actually help the company.
I think you meant revisiting medical records?
And heads up proviso... hear Givens and Smith are coming because you haven't put any or enough of your people down on paper for critical rules to be fired. You'd think a large billion dollar company worried about "world class safety" that'd be a great thing.
